Medical Tourism

roadmap for Tampa Bay to become an international and national medical tourism destination.

“Medical tourism” is the term commonly used to describe people traveling outside their home
country for medical treatment. Traditionally, international medical travel involved patients from
less-developed countries traveling to a medical center in a developed country for treatment that
was not available in their home country. Medical tourism is a worldwide, multibillion-dollar
phenomenon that is expected to grow substantially. As regions within the United States have
developed specialties in medical procedures and wellness, medical tourism has become a
domestic phenomenon as well.
The most common categories of procedures that people pursue during medical tourism trips are
cosmetic surgery, dentistry, cardiology, and orthopedic surgery. Most medical tourists rely on
private companies or “medical concierge” services to identify health care facilities. Some
insurers and large employers have alliances with domestic and overseas hospitals to control
health care costs. Major medical schools in the United States are developing joint initiatives with
overseas providers. For example, All Children's Hospital is now a part of the Johns Hopkins
Health System.
Action Recommended:
Authorize Executive Director to seek funding from county
governments and potential medical tourism partners expressly
for the purposes of conducting a medical tourism feasibility
analysis and identifying a roadmap for building the medical
tourism industry in Tampa Bay.

One Bay Resilient Communities Working Group
The ONE BAY Resilient Communities Working Group, in partnership with the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security, hosted a Tampa Bay Region Infrastructure Resiliency
to Climate Hazards Seminar on February 6, 2015. The seminar, to be followed by a
regional tabletop exercise on March 16, 2015, brings together federal, state, local, and
private sector stakeholders from the Tampa Bay region to discuss the resilience of critical
infrastructure in the water, energy and transportation sectors to various climate hazards.
Participants were presented with climate hazard data specific to the Tampa Bay area,
including relevant information on sea level, rainfall patterns and air temperature. In future
meetings, participants will be asked to discuss this information in order to identify threats
and vulnerabilities to critical infrastructure (both public and private) and develop
adaptation actions to ensure climate preparedness and infrastructure resilience.
